Ezra isn't someone who believes in love and long-lasting relationships. His parents have always been strong and supportive of him, but he remembers how they would fight sometimes, and it was hard for them to survive the last 19 years of their marriage. Ever since he moved away to college in Conneticut, things never exactly felt the same.
He'd only ever been in one relationship with a guy who cheated on him, and it was more than he could handle (granted he was 17 and they were in the same closet together. Misery loves company, right?) But when he meets Dean, a starry-eyed, brown-haired boy who believes that love can stand the test of time and anything the world throws at it, will he be able to see past his own skepticism to believe that love can last?

Denial
**Completed!** Reed Garcia is in denial. With a history of homophobia, Reed just can't accept the fact that he is absolutely in love with his roommate from freshman year. It's long since freshman year, but Reed's feelings for Kyle haven't faded. In fact, they might have gotten worse since realizing that the boy he shared a room with for a year isn't straight at all, and now in a very committed relationship. Reed tries his hardest to forget he ever had feelings for a guy, but nothing, or no one, helps. Instead, he finds help in the most unexpected place ever. Quincy Alder knows, without a doubt, that he's gay. And when a certain boy in his class catches his eye, he knows that he wants him, even though all the signs point to him being straight and homophobic. This is a spin off story from my book More Than Just Roommates. It's not necessary that you read that one first, only recommended.Complete
Not This,Not Him
Minseok doesn't believe in softness anymore. Not after being thrown out by his family for loving a boy and certainly not after that boy left him to face the world alone. Now, he plays basketball, studies hard, and stays far away from anything too real especially his own identity. He's angry. Guarded. Pretending. Surviving. Then Slohan arrives. With his lilac hoodie and crop tops, with his calm voice and quiet presence, Slohan is everything Minseok tried to forget. Openly gay. Gentle. Strong in his softness. And Minseok hates him for it - or so he tells himself. But life on campus doesn't let them stay strangers. Their roommates collide, their paths keep crossing, and the tension between them turns to something raw, magnetic, undeniable. As their connection deepens, so does Minseok's fear. What happens when someone sees the parts of you you've buried? What if love is too dangerous to hold? As secrets unravel, new friendships form, and the past comes clawing back, Minseok and Slohan are forced to choose: stay in the dark or fight for a future beneath these lilac skies.Complete

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete
